Doing it for Madiba

This past weekend, the contestants of the Caxton Reynolds Race 2014 flipped pancakes and served them to the public all in the spirit of 67 minutes for Mandela Day.

Only the top four teams from the race participated in this task, at Kenilworth Spar in Joburg South, on Saturday, July 19.

Team Bedfordview and Edenvale News and Joburg East Express, team Kempton Express and The Tembisan, team Germiston City News and team Joburg South took part.

Each team had to make 20 pancakes from scratch and, after reaching the target, they had to walk around the store serving the pancakes to the customers all in the name of Madiba.

All the teams were in high spirits with this challenge and some reached the 20 pancake target more than once.

The reason only the top four teams took part in this act of good nature is because numerically, and following the points on the score card, the other teams have already fallen out of the race, but they were there for moral support.

These four teams will also move on to participate in the finals of the race on August 2, 2014.

The winning team will walk away with an all-expenses paid trip sponsored by the South African Reynolds Travel Centre in Springs.
